So the first hour and a half is like trying to taste blackberries while standing in a tire fire. Burning rubber and sulfur dioxide, with some tart dark fruit. I'm guessing this will be much better tomorrow, once the enormous amount of sulfur blows off, but I've lost patience.

Very different Rioja and at first though it had some other grapes then just temp. Big and rich and a bit surprising. A lot of tar, big fruit and just rich. Nice drinker for sure.
